Ta Bern. I never watched it but it may well be added to our lockdown-list of "dead good programmes we didn't have time to watch at the time" if we can find it.
My one is ongoing since last decade (our current favourite on said lockdown-list) ; QUEUE AT THE CUSTOMS POINT?

Dreaded lurgy wise I'm getting there Bern, thanks for asking.

Bern if there was it'd fit the clue better than the correct answer. This might seem like a taxing question but it might help to think of what the call a queue in USA :wink:

Hence the line in Borderline Bee.

I was also thinking of the old sitcom show Duty Free.

Maybe if I put them all together and try the fabulous 'Line of Duty' I may get somewhere?

I knew you got the "line" thing Bern, your answer fitted the clue better than the the real one. I just pointed it out to open it up to others.
Of course the correct answer is the brilliant Line of Duty. We'd watched the last series but nothing earlier until recently ....... much binge watching has got us chomping at the bit for the new series!
